Casualties (front mock up)

admin • 6 years ago

I created this mock up for Erica’s upcoming album. She recently did a photo shoot with Audrey in Oakland, and has posted the photos online to hear which pics people like the best.

I then saw Catcubed’s mock up and thought I’d play with the idea a little more. Inspired by Erica’s Unwoman logo, which is an ambigram, I flipped the photo 180 degress. So the reflection appears to be a normal photo at first, then the viewer figures out it’s upside down. In essence, this mock up was designed to work from either angle.

I like the flip upside down. I really like the dual Unwoman where it reads correct both ways. Not sure on the placement as covers up the detail of the water line that I really liked. However, the casualties typeface feels too way cartoony.

Also, while my typography wasn’t fully thought out, I think using casualties in pink was the crowning aspect of my rough as it linked the idea of casualties with the pink shoes. Implying that her dark reflected self was involved in a act of violence against her own actual self and/or against her stereotyped femininity. Without the use of pink that connection is lost.

catcubed- Agreed on the font and colors. I was mainly just trying to convey the upside down reflection and ambigram logo, but my eye for fonts and color is terrible, so I didn’t even try to convey anything there other than placement.

thisisstar- yep, that’s your beautiful Comic Sans Serif font. I love it, but it’s probably not the best fit for this cover.
